CookingWithAthletes.com is based on the idea of sharing recipes, knowledge, and experience from athletes, chefs, and trainers. As a tool used by aspiring athletes, kids who admire athletes and fans we hope to inform and inspire the diets of everyone on and off the field.
The CookingWithAthletes.com story started in 2010, when I ran with the idea of seeing what professional athletes eat and making that information available to everyone, especially young athletes. Two years later and over the course of that time the site has featured more than 700 recipes and gained thousands of users.
Why I need your support:
- Help rebuild CookingWithAthletes.com making it 100% free for everyone
- Redesign the site making it more intuitive and easy to use
- Revamp our recipe database and include enchanted nutrition and ingredient information
-Help Combat Childhood Obesity
But you may ask. Why rebuild and redesign CookingWithAthletes.com?
We have to admit, the current website isn't as slick as we would like it to be and as some will attest, motion creates emotion, we want to be a website that athletes, young and old, will want to visit and a website professional athletes will want to be featured on.
Currently the site requires a subscription for some features. This subscription fee helps pay our staff (the nutrition information doesn't write itself) while a portion goes to charities involved with Cooking With Athletes. We want this resource to be free for everyone, while still providing quality information. All this takes time and unfortunately, money.
What is in it for me?
Besides all the awesome incentives by funding the Indiegogo campaign you can be assured that you are helping CookingWithAthletes.com thrive and grow. If the goal of $20,000 is reached the site will be successfully redesigned, rebuilt and become a free resource for everyone.
This would also help us raise awareness of CookingWithAthletes.com. Even if it means $1 from 20,000 people, that would mean that 20,000 people know about CookingWithAthletes.com. Once more people know there is the hope that they would tell more people and only good things can come from more support.
